In-depth information about 1-½ Inch Dubia Roaches

These guys are big. They weight a lot for their size, as well they should. They’ve been gorging on healthy food their entire lives, which at this point is many months. They are nutritionally replete, and they retain some of the nutrients they consumed. Dubia roaches eat not just to grow, but also to store nutrients for use later in adulthood. This is part of why they’re so nutritious.

1-½ inch Dubia are typically fed to large animals. These include large bearded dragons and tarantulas, small tegu and monitors, and more.

The suitability of a large feeder insect often depends on the animal that eats it. For example, not all bearded dragons can easily handle a large Dubia roach, but many can. With a feeder this size, it’s a good idea to know the animal’s habits and abilities in advance. If it’s used to eating large feeders, then you’re good to go. When in doubt, we recommend starting small.

As we’ve said before, Dubia roaches are outstanding feeders for many reasons. One reason is superior gut load-ability. This is where large Dubia like 1-½ inch nymphs stand out. Literally. These guys can pack away an enormous amount of food. And when they do, it’s very easy to see. Their full stomachs cause serious body elongation. If you’re into gutloading, the bulging belly signals that they’re ready for feeding.

Interestingly, the difference between a hungry Dubia roach and one that’s fed can be double its body weight or more. And this is especially true of larger Dubia. This is why you want to give feeder roaches nutritious foods that are not only good for them, but also good for the animals that eat them. What goes into the roach often ends up in the prey animals unchanged.

Like all our roaches, we feed our 1-½ inch Dubia fruits and vegetables. In fact, they’ve eaten those their entire life. We also feed them our own special Dubia roach chow that contains nutrients for every stage of growth. Of course, we feed our organic roaches organic foods and feed ingredients. Late-stage nymphs like these are full of nutrition, thanks to a lifetime of healthy eating!

Item specific sizing notes

1-½ inches is the largest size for Dubia roaches. We do our best to get them as close to this size as possible. Of course, there is always some size variation — especially at this size.

This measure assumes the roaches are fed and hydrated. Roaches may become dehydrated in-transit. Hungry or dehydrated roaches often have a flatter appearance. Give them plenty of food and water upon arrival, especially if they appear flat.

Within limits, you can adjust the size of your roaches to fit the size of your animal. To increase their size, provide them with food and water. To decrease it, withhold food and water for a day or more.

General sizing notes & more information

For more information about our Dubia roach measuring process and approach, including advice about choosing the right size for your animals, see our guide about sizing Dubia roaches.

We have roaches available in both standard and organic. Whether nutritionally or in their care & keeping, Dubia roaches are superior feeders. If you’re unfamiliar with them and want to learn more, we have lots of guidance available, including information about the benefits and advantages of feeding Dubia roaches.
